< Luke 22 >

1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was approaching, which is called the Passover.
And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,
2 The chief priests and the scribes discussed how they could put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the people.
and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,
4 Judas went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he would betray Jesus to them.
and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,
5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
6 He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.
and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,
8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it.”
and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'
9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to make preparations?”
and they said to him, 'Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'
10 He answered them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.
And he said to them, 'Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,
11 Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'
and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?
12 He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”
and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'
13 So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.
and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.
14 When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.
And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,
15 Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,
16 For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'
17 Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.
And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to yourselves,
18 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”
for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'
19 Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to remembrance of me.'
20 He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.
21 But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.
'But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on the table,
22 For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'
23 They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.
And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.
24 Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.
And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.
25 He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.
And he said to them, 'The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;
26 But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.
but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
27 For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.
28 But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.
'And ye — ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,
29 I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,
and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'
31 Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,
32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers.”
and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”
And he said to him, 'Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'
34 Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me.”
and he said, 'I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'
35 Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?” They answered, “Nothing.”
And he said to them, 'When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, 'Nothing.'
36 Then he said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,
37 For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'He was counted with the lawless ones.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled.”
for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'
38 Then they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He said to them, “It is enough.”
And they said, 'Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.'
39 Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,
40 When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
and having come to the place, he said to them, 'Pray ye not to enter into temptation.'
41 He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”
saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me —; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' —
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,
46 and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”
and he said to them, 'Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'
47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,
And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,
48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
and Jesus said to him, 'Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'
49 When those who were around Jesus saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”
And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'
50 Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
51 Jesus said, “That is enough!” He touched his ear, and healed him.
and Jesus answering said, 'Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, to the captains of the temple, and to elders who came against him, “Do you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
And Jesus said to those having come upon him — chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders — 'As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay your hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.”
while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'
54 Seizing him, they led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,
55 After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,
56 A certain female servant saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looked straight at him and said, “This man also was with him.”
and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
and he disowned him, saying, 'Woman, I have not known him.'
58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You are also one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.'
59 After about an hour another man insisted and said, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” Immediately, while he was speaking, a rooster crowed.
and Peter said, 'Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.
61 Turning, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, when he said to him, “Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times.”
And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him — 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'
62 Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.
63 Then the men guarding Jesus mocked and beat him.
And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him];
64 They put a cover over him and asked him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?”
and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, 'Prophesy who he is who smote thee?'
65 They spoke many other things against Jesus, blaspheming him.
and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.
66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. They led him into the council
And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,
67 and said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,
saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe;
68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.
and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away;
69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.'
70 They all said, “Then you are the Son of God?” Jesus said to them, “You say that I am.”
And they all said, 'Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, 'Ye say [it], because I am;'
71 They said, “Why do we still need a witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.”
and they said, 'What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.'
